Green tea reduces risk of blood cell and lymph cancers

Keith D. Bishop, Clinical Nutritionist, B.Sc. Pharmacy - August 1, 2009

• Compared to drinking one cup per day, drinking five or more cups of green tea per day reduced the risk of blood and lymph cancers by 42 and 48 percent.  

 
Researchers followed 41,761 adults in Japan for nine years. Participants completed a diet survey at the beginning of the study. At the end of the nine years it was evident that high consumption of green tea provided significant reduction in blood cell and lymph cancers. Men and women were equally protected by the five cup per day green tea consumption.

Natural Cancer Treatment Pearl
Science continues to support the anti-cancer benefits of green tea and its polyphenols.

Green tea contains four polyphenols including epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). Green tea contains 30 to 40 percent polyphenols while black tea contains 3 to 10 percent polyphenols. Oolong tea contains 10 to 20 percent polyphenols. Darker colored teas do not contain as many polyphenols. Oxidation takes place during the fermentation of dark teas and the polyphenol levels decrease. Green Tea has more polyphenols than darker teas.

It’s a challenge for most people to drink five cups of green tea each day. I recommend that my cancer clients take Green Tea 600 to ensure adequate green tea intake.
